Check this out! This is history in the making! I am so proud to be my cat Milo’s master (even though he acts like he is my master). My cat’s diary was selected as today’s front page featured diary. I only updated it a few days ago but somehow it caught the eye of the Catster editors I guess?
I add entries to Milo’s diary like he was speaking instead of me talking about him. Milo’s profile follows the same style too. I’ve got 2 other cats, Baby and Ginger. I picked them up in 2005 but I have since given them away to some nice cat lovers.
I’ve got detailed stories on how I found the above 3 cats. They were all stray cats around my neighbourhood. I hope you like cats as much as I do. There are so many stray cats in Singapore and I am proud to do my bit to help these little furry animals in need.
Check out their Catster profiles:
Oh yes! Please give them a virtual treat and give them a “5 paw” rating when you’re there!

I have decided to cancel my plans to move to Sydney, Australia due to some family problems. I won’t go into the details but my family and relatives in Singapore had a “big fight over money” with my relatives from Sydney, Australia when they visited us last month. I wasn’t around when they were quarreling but I learnt through my sister that they said they don’t want me living in their house unless I pay them the standard market rate for rental! I estimate that’s easily AUD $250 - $400 per week!
My relatives are retired and live very far away from the city. I don’t see the point of going there to stay at their place, pay them high rental fees, and be unhappy since I know they don’t want any of us there.
I thought about this whole migration thing for a while and I realised that all I want now is to move out of my house. I did some calculations and I find that it would be cheaper if I rented an office space near my house and stayed over there once in a while till I make enough money to rent a small apartment of my own.
I’m …

I scratched 1 more item off my 2006 to do list. I upgraded my blog to WordPress 2.0! I urge you to upgrade your WordPress blog if you haven’t done so.
Here’s why you need to upgrade to WordPress 2.0 as soon as possible:
That’s all I can think of right now. WordPress is the best PHP blogging and content management script I have used. I keep telling everyone to use it because its really easy to use and customize to your needs.
In a bid to combat email spam, I have installed a …

In my part 2 of the Vincent Rich’s blog 2006 updates post, I mentioned stuff like making the forum search engine friendly and adding email digests. Point number 1 and 2 are done. I have also changed the newsletter bonuses too (Point 5).
Some people emailed me asking about the insiders forums. Its not finalized yet but I will be able to create an insiders forum very soon. Last night, I stumbled on "The Secret"… I will create a "personal development" forum for my newsletter subscribers only. I would like to create a small community of like minded and action minded people who are committed to improving themselves in this forum.I will announce this in my newsletter very soon. As of now, I still haven’t finalized how to integrate my newsletter and forum together. I only want people who are my newsletter subsribers to be part of certain forums and when they unsubscribe, I want their names out of those forums without having to manually delete them off the members list. I have some ideas but …

Just a post to clarify my position on these "Paid To Surf Programs". I have a Studio Traffic account but I did not deposit any money into my account. In my previous post about Studio Traffic, I mentioned I wouldn’t mind putting in $1000 but I did not say I have put in $1000. I registered for a Studio Pay account, Studio Traffic’s payment gateway, and it was really a pain in the neck to set it up because I had to scan my Singapore identity card and my latest telephone bill to them as verification which took about 3 weeks to process if I remember correctly.After my Studio Pay account was finalized, I wanted to put some money into Studio Traffic. Then I had some doubts… I asked myself:
